To celebrate its third anniversary, it's worth saying in general what a great album this is. Though most of the songs are on Dublin Live, and though I love the way most of them are done, listening to the studio album versions again, they have effects and subtleties which the live performances don't always get, because the album is much quieter, slower, gentler and more meditative. 'Going Home' is really a much wryer and subtler song on the album than when everyone is just waiting to cheer the line 'He's a lazy bastard living in a suit'. LC is more is at the centre in the studio album versions, the backing vocalists don't dominate quite so much at times. I prefer Amen with the violin, though, and at a faster pace, as on the tour, and would want to balance the studio 'Come Healing', in which we have a gentler, deeper Leonard, with the Dublin version, where the Webb sisters are singing with more confidence and are really angelic, and the violin is once again sublime.
